Treatment that relieves and prevents dry eyes.

Ilube eye drops help to lubricate your eyes and give relief from the pain and discomfort dry eyes can cause.
If you’re suffering from dry eyes, we can help. Order Ilube eye drops online with us and we’ll deliver them straight to you.
Ilube eye drops help with the symptoms and cause of dry eyes. If you’re struggling to produce tears, Ilube eye drops can help. They reduce the stickiness that you can get from tears, and stop the sore, gritty and painful feeling that dry eyes may trigger.
Using Ilube eye drops can also prevent complications from dry eyes like blurred vision, small tears on the cornea and eye infections. Leaving dry eyes untreated can be uncomfortable and cause future eye health problems.
Ilube eye drops contain 5% of the active ingredient acetylcysteine. Acetylcysteine thins the mucus in the eye, working to break down sticky tears which can cause dryness. So it helps your tear production and can fix the causes of dry eyes.
They also contain a small amount of hypromellose and come as a liquid solution, which means they’re a lubricant too. So Ilube eye drops also provide immediate relief from the symptoms of dry eyes. The sore, uncomfortable feeling of dry eyes should be lessened immediately after you use the drops.
Ilube eye drops only come as a 5% solution of acetylcysteine, in a 10ml bottle. The recommended dose of Ilube eye drops is usually one to two drops in the affected eye three or four times a day. If you have symptoms in both eyes, apply them to both. How much you need to use exactly will depend on your symptoms. Our clinician will tell you how many drops you need. If you find that your dose isn’t working for you, you can log into your account and send us a message if you’re using our service. We can explore alternative treatment options with you from there.

If you’re using it for the first time, you’ll need to attach the dropper to the bottle. To do this:
To use the drops:
If you’re applying Ilube drops to both eyes, repeat these steps for the other eye.
Ilube eye drops will provide some instant relief from dry eye symptoms due to the lubricant effect. If you’re using it for acute dry eyes, you should see a major improvement within a few days. If not, go back to your clinician or message us if you’re using our service. It’s also safe and effective to use if you have a condition that causes chronic dry eyes.
Once opened, the bottle only lasts for 28 days. So make sure to buy more Ilube before it goes out of date, or sign up for our flexible subscriptions. You can choose how often you’d like to receive your eye drops from our pharmacy.
If you miss your eye when you’re using Ilube eye drops, just try again. If you put more drops in than you should, close your eyes and rinse around them with clean, warm water. If you forget to use Ilube eye drops, just apply them as soon as you remember. Don’t put in more drops than usual to make up for forgetting some.
